IPCC Report Contains Detailed Information on Climate Change

Earlier this year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] released its latest report on global climate change trends, information and impacts.  It's the fifth version of the report published by IPCC.

It's a detailed analysis compiled by the world's leading experts and essential reading for anyone who wants to properly understand the current state of knowledge about climate change.  Over 600 researchers have contributed to the report and it's taken almost 2 years to finalise.

The full reference to the report is -

IPCC, 2012 - Field, C.B., V. Barros, T.F. Stocker, D. Qin, D.J. Dokken, K.L. Ebi, M.D. Mastrandrea, K.J. Mach,

Information About Weather Events & Damage


One of the ways we're moving this study forward is to develop a listing of weather events resulting from climate change that can inflict building damage such as:
  • Flooding
  • High wind
  • Hail damage
  • Extreme heat damage on buildings
  • Bush fire
  • etc
And, then for each of  these weather events, we will develop a listing of the type of building damage resulting from them.

If you have information on either of these things, email us.
